The Grand Opera House

Now celebrating five decades of touring, Tom has been thrilling audiences here and abroad with hits like “No Regrets,” “Circle Game,” “Remember Song,” “Urge for Going” and, of course, “Rockport Sunday.”

Tom Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk scene in the ’60s, the folk-rock movement of the ‘70s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s. His music has left its stamp on generations of artists—James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty and Garth Brooks, among others, have cited Tom as a major influence— and his early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor.  Subsequently, his Club 47 concerts brought national attention to next-generation artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin.

His 1965 album, The Circle Game, is said to have ushered in the singer/songwriter era, and artists as diverse as James Taylor and Garth Brooks credit him as influences. His songs have been hits as folk, country, heavy metal and rap tunes, but it will always be the sweetness of the ballads and the grit of the blues that people remember. He is Tom Rush, a legend with humility, a guitar hero who majored in English Lit at Harvard.
